A 25-year-old big man on a contract that's been hard to move, buried deep on a loaded Denver frontcourt. No meaningful 2025-26 minutes to evaluate, leaving him a depth piece who has yet to carve out a consistent rotation role. The athletic tools are there; the production has never followed.

No qualifying 2025-26 NBA stats yet — an NBA rating populates once he logs a full season.
